I am using ABD SS6 V8i, we have design models, composition models, drawings and sheets. Drawings were created from saved view in composition file. We have a problem where a drawing referenced on a sheet is masking another drawing ( overall plan drawing and Stair drawing). I have tried update sequence but it doesn't do anything. If I turn off reference display and only show individually I can see that it's is there, that's how I know its been masked by the other Drawing reference.
Any ideas on how to solve this?
I think using a Cached setting instead of Dynamic on your saved view reference would do it (you can chang it under 'Presentation' in the References window).

Stefan, I tried Cache the DRawing but still not appearing!. It will appear if I Cache and Copy/Hide the entire drawing which of course is not a good work around.
Any other suggestions?
Sorry for the late reply, did you get to solve this?
Is there a reason the 2 drawings on the sheet should be on top of eachother? If not, why not clip them on the Sheet so they can't cover eachother anymore?
Good question, Stefan - serraric, why do you have two drawings on top of each other? Not that there's anything preventing you from doing that, but understanding what you are trying to achieve may help to find a solution.
In general, unless there is some large element literally hiding everything behind it, those elements "in back" should be visible. Also keep in mind that the delivered Forward Drawing display style uses Visible Edges display mode, so if you don't have Hidden Edges enabled (that display style does not) you will not see anything behind those elements.
I am surprised that the Update Sequence command did not have any effect though... if you cache both drawings does that make a difference?
Are you suing 3d files Here. 3d files will conflict with each other and hide things. Make sure these are all referenced into a 2d file for viewing or annotation.
